Original poster

Dr Adrian Harrop, who the funk does he think he is?

If you're not familiar with this supposed physician (yes, really), then you need to get over to Twitter and see this.

Harrop seems to spend most of his time harassing and insulting natal women whilst unquestionably supporting trans women. He is hiding behind his "medical expertise" and using it to shout women down.

It's both hilarious and terrifying! Shock

I'm not sure he's posted on MN but he's posted about how awful we are several times.

I'm not sure, Still. The name doesn't ring a bell to me but an advanced search might help?

I'm sure kilgore"s posted on MN? I remember the name as its (upsettingly) based on a character from one of my favourite books

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 24/06/2018 19:40

Lovely man???🤯 😡🤬🤬🤬

He's DISGUSTING!

Evil, I would say. And I don't say that lightly.

There's this as well with some dude named KilgoreSprout on Twitter.

Harrop and Kilgore are trying to get a woman's MBE taken away and who is, they say, a member of WPUK.

That's not to say that thread wasn't pretty sinister to start with but about 3 pages in, it was, as one poster said, like a bored cat swatting an irritating spider around.

Sarahconnor1 · 24/06/2018 19:15

Yes. Dissapointed that thread was taken down. It started off with Leon talking about how he pays private investigators to dox woman on Twitter, it ended with pictures of magnum pi, Steve McQueen and Rowan Atkinson as Jonny English. It was funny, we asked for it to be kept up.

I do wonder if there are any posters in the Totnes constituency.

I think meeting with Sarah Wollaston would be a good idea.

R0wantrees · 24/06/2018 19:12

I only caught a glimpse of it and it seemed rather concerning.

Datun · 24/06/2018 19:09

I see Leon's thread has been taken down. Still, it's useful to know what kind of friends and suppprters the good doctor has.

R0wantrees · 24/06/2018 16:33

Sarah Wollaston MP for Totnes.
I have admired Sarah Wollaston's independance and integrity

"I am the (Conservative) Member of Parliament for the Totnes Constituency which stretches from Bantham to Broadsands along the beautiful South Devon coast and north to Dartmeet on Dartmoor.

I have lived in South Devon for twenty-five years and was privileged to work on the frontline of the NHS for twenty-four years before entering Parliament in 2010. I also spent several years as a police forensic examiner for Devon and Cornwall Police – mostly seeing victims of sexual or domestic violence. For eleven years I worked as a GP on Dartmoor and taught junior doctors and medical students as well as examining for the Royal College of General Practitioners."

Unbelievable behavior.

Medical professionals should not attack any groups of people, regardless of how bad they perceive them to be. Even prisoners are entitled to fair medical care. Yet here is a doctor encouraging and celebrating the harassment of women whose opinions he doesn't like.

He is a dangerous man. The thought of him near trans children (i.e. Vulnerable kids) makes me feel quite sick.

Southfields · 24/06/2018 15:46

Harrop targetted a dear friend of mine, such a gentle and elderly lady, for targetted harassment. She was really upset, in tears, the lot.

Several of us reported and reported and Twitter did nothing.

Then Twitter banned half a dozen gender criticals.

It's a disgrace.

FermatsTheorem · 24/06/2018 15:36

Fucking autocorrect won't let me fucking swear properly.

Misogynistic shit smeared wank stain, obviously

FermatsTheorem · 24/06/2018 15:35

Hmm.

You say tomahto and I say tomayto,
You say lovely and I say misogynistic shit smears wake stain..
Let's call the whole thing off.

(Another one whose pronouns are Dr, Dr and Dr. I like that, Bowl. )

Sarahconnor1 · 24/06/2018 15:29

Heads up. Leon has another thread here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3287307-a-Twitter-battle

Let's just say it's interesting.

Waddlelikeapenguin · 24/06/2018 15:14

He isnt a lovely man he's a vile misogynist.

(He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!)

Ereshkigal · 24/06/2018 15:08

He really isn't a lovely man. He told a woman who got a death threat for mild heckling in a TV debate that he hoped she had learnt her lesson.

Sarahconnor1 · 24/06/2018 15:07

He doesn't care much about women though. That is very clear.

I read his tweets and he comes across and a bully. Media hungry, but still a bully.

TellsEveryoneRealFacts · 24/06/2018 15:07

Cool story Leon.

Bowlofbabelfish · 24/06/2018 15:05

A lovely man? He just used the word cretinous...

If I used that in a patient facing context I’d be fired. It’s an entirely inappropriate way to speak if you’re a health professional.

leontheprofessional · 24/06/2018 15:03

Having read through his tweets and spoken to him he is a lovely man who cares about the trans community so do other doctors on Twitter who I won't name because I don't want them to become known to other certain Twitter users who send abuse

Sarahconnor1 · 24/06/2018 14:58

I find it astonishing that a men feels he can dictate to women the words we used to describe ourselves. He has zero self awareness zero understanding. Just awful. Cheering on the doxxing of a women tells you everything you need to know.

Pratchet · 24/06/2018 11:20

But.. really odd. Seems to be angling for some media gig? But hates women so bad.

Datun · 24/06/2018 11:01

Yes, I think he is. Still leg crossingly creepy.
